Kevin,
First, and foremost, Brett did exactly that -- he suggested that Alexandre stuffed the ballots, AND that Jeremy forced people to vote a certain way. While I have no affiliation with CodeWaevers, this sort of low-life attack on some of the people I dearly respect is both insulting and aggravating to a degree that I do not care to comment. I have a limit on what I _can_ put up with without my health being affected, and Brett jumped way over that line with that message.
Second, it is clear that he did it to piss off people after the results were anounced. See that message, the "ethical" one, and so on. He is not trying to be helpful, just to create endless discussions that derails people from the important issues. For this alone he should "bugger off".
And third, why don't you read the relevant email before you comment, and suggest the "more like a gentleman" route for things more deserving of it, uhhmm, like insulting Alexandre and Jeremy?

P.S. It seems that I had a very bad day yesterday, so my reactions were harsher than usual. I appologise for that. It seems that the "bad day" part continues into today, so please do not drag me into a flamewar, unless you know what you want to get yourself into. :)))
